HP’s Autonomy Buy Marks Push Toward Big Data

August 23, 2011

by Angela Guess

A recent article discusses the potential effect of HP’s recent announcements on Big Data trends. It begins, “If anybody had any previous doubts about the long-term effect so-called Big Data now has on the IT business, they ought to be dispelled right now. Big Data is what Hewlett-Packard’s huge Aug. 18 disruption is all about. Effectively, HP has traded something it was very, very good at (designing, building and selling personal computers) and another thing it was new at (smartphones and tablets) for a software company (Autonomy) that knows how to handle Big Data in an enterprise.”

The article continues, “Autonomy knows how to store data, archive it, access it, find it, analyze it, report on it and return it to where it should be kept for all eternity. A big bonus is that it plugs right into cloud systems. HP can do most of this now, but not in a form that can be distributed natively by a cloud system. That’s essentially what this acquisition– which is going to cost HP a cool $11 billion — is all about.”

It adds, “Big Data is all about the volume, velocity, variety and value of large data sets that are pouring into enterprise data centers. Overburdened IT systems are having increasing difficulty handling and analyzing these workloads. This is where the future of IT is going, and this is where HP is investing its time, energy and capital.”

    I have been surfing online more than 3 hours lately, yet I by no means found any fascinating article like yours. It’s lovely worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content material as you probably did, the net will be much more helpful than ever before.
